pointed lateral angles (Fig. 20). Antennae about 3/4 as long as head width, their nearly regularly oval club 1.6 as long as wide and comprising about 1/4 of total antennái length, but subacute at apex. Pronotum gently sloping to very narrowly explanate sides, its posterior angles with widely rounded apices, its base very slightly and almost regularly convex. Elytra with steeply sloping sides and without marked trace of humeral stria; lateral edges scarcely visible from above. Pygidium with widely rounded apex. Antennái grooves subparallel to slightly divergent. Mentum bisinuate at anterior edge of its basal part, more than 3 times as wide as long, surface behind it without distinct fossa. Prosternai process moderately wide (about 1.5 times as wide as antenna! club) and far projecting posteriorly, with a broadly rounded and margined posterior edge (Fig. 22). Distance between mesocoxae almost twice and that between metacoxae about 3.5 times broader than that between procoxae. Mesosternum vaulted medially. Metasternum widely, triangularly and shallowly depressed, and with a shining meFigs 19-32. Species of subgenus Clypeogethes of genus Meligethes (orig.). 19-25: M. (C.) fistuca sp. n., 19 = body, dorsal; 20 = anterior edge of the head, dorsal; 21 = male protibia, dorsal; 22 = prosternai process, ventral; 23 = male hypopygidium, ventral; 24 = tegmen, ventral; 25 = penis trunk, dorsal; 26-32: M. (C.) leileri sp. n., 26 = body, dorsal; 27 = anterior edge of head; 28 = male protibia, dorsal; 29 = prosternai process, ventral; 30 = tegmen, ventral; 31 = penis trunk, dorsal; 32 = ovipositor, ventral. Scales: A - to Figs 19, 26; B - to Figs 20-23, 27-29; C - to Figs 24-25, 30-32
